The Emotional Side of Walter Ray Williams Jr.

[@shpfro]

THE GOAT. Earl may have won all his championships in less time but no one has been at the top for as long as WRWJr. 🐐

[@christopherbramwell8262]

Walter Ray Williams is every single professional bowlers nightmare. Why? Because he HARDLY EVER beats himself. He has statistics that are truly INCREDIBLE. He knows how to MANAGE HIS EMOTIONS. In a BOWLERS JOURNAL magazine column by the wonderfully masterful writer Thomas C. Kouros, the prolific instructor/coach/writer highly praised Walter Ray in the early 80's and I had a strong feeling that Walter Ray was going to be a superstar. I understand that there is a big "learning curve" when first embarking on the pro bowlers tour. Walter Ray didn't start winning titles until 1986 and it's odd that a player wins Player of the Year the year that he wins his first national title. 7 time PBA PLAYER OF THE YEAR. 3 time PBA50 Player of the Year. 92 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH APPEARANCES!! The only player to EARN over 5M in career prize money. A lot of VERY IMPRESSIVE STATS for Walter Ray. The first player to win over 100 cumulative national & regional titles on the standard tour in conjunction with national & regional titles on the PBA50 tour. 47! 47 NATIONAL STANDARD TITLES against the best bowlers in the world! Obviously, Walter Ray represents the PBA professionally as many of the bowlers but Walter Ray just has THE PERSONALITY & GRACE that, I don't know, is just deeply admirable. TREMENDOUS BOWLER. WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING TOO. M

I am a 76 year old bowler, and I know how tough it is to bowl when you get older. I don't think Walter Ray will ever win another tournament on the regular tour, but he is doing well on the senior tour. I think he is a really great fellow, but I have never met him. Being from Missouri, I have met Pete Weber, and he is a lot of fun, even though he does get carried away sometimes. I wish Walter Ray the very best in all that he tries to do. I would love to meet him sometime.

Don't give up. Johnny Petraglia bowled a 300 about a week ago.

Interesting fact about Walter Ray Williams and me is that my dad and him were best friends as kids. My grandfather was the one that taught him how to throw horseshoes back in the day. So it's interesting to see him on TV and know the connection

[@300willbowl]

i'll never forget Bowling on the same pair of lanes with him in my first tour apperance. Bigger than life but a real down to earth guy!

What happened to Paige Pennington

[@MikeJones-gw2xs]

What happened to Paige Pennington?

[@Riz2336]

I'm surprised I remember paige being on his telecast so many times

[@jeremycaldwell6477]

What happened to page?

[@jeremyramberger5198]

I didn't know that he and Paige divorced

[@agoo7581]

Okay, it's extremely creepy for a mother to tell her 14 year old that her future husband is someone who is currently an adult.

[@Masterr59]

We decided it was creepy the last 40 years, but that was common since the beginning of time.

[@jyj3843]

I'd love to see Walter get just one more

[@jbfranzini9828]

Walter.....you're going to be the first PBA50 national champion at the age of 80.....I'll guarantee it....Keep it rolling, you're a good man !!!

[@TimothyBukowskiApologist]

I hope he wins again on the big tour. I REALLY do

[@SuV33358]

What happened to Paige? Unless she changed her name

[@ianelgar6472]

[@americaparts13]

[@stormb28]

Fancy Williams? Where is Paige?

[@chancemholton6611]

She never like bowling...

[@jamescheff3160]

Had the dame home center as wrw while he lived in ocala fl. Been to his one of his clinics and a lesson. Not sure how he every got a bad reputation he was always a good guy when I was around. I think his new wife has helped the resurgance in his career as a pro.

[@chrisl6238]

This is great!

[@pamelacass9642]

So which wife did all that screaming when he bowled? Sorry, but that was SO annoying.

[@erikknudson3077]

wrw got her SS # so he could find her later. smart man!

[@for8861]

G.O.A.T. no doubt keep wishing Petey :)

[@jeaninerondeaupu457]

never give up wrw if norm duke can still win on the pba so can you

[@chancemholton6611]

Page did not like bowling at all.

[@andrewcrockett3044]

WRW likes em BIG! His ex-wife was huge, lost weight, and divorces her or maybe she divorced him. Goes back to the biggums! Nobody wants to die alone. I never liked WRW Jr, I repect his success, but I have to put him in the bucket of things/teams/players, that I just dont like.

[@shpfro]

🤣🤣 love WRWJr but I thought the same thing, he like the big girls.

[@anitalambert9143]

He probably doesn't like you either...

[@paulchristenson5256]

Why are you here?
